General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn Has Real Life Brush With the Law
Nancy Lee Grahn shared a major mistake she made on social media which had the fans all commenting on how Alexis and Diane could help her.
Alexis has been going through some challenging times on General Hospital. Her daughters are finally getting along again, however, Ric and Ava are blackmailing her with proof that Kristina cut Ric’s brake line, nearly killing him and Elizabeth. As such, she’s got some legal issues to deal with, and in a strange case of life imitating art, Nancy Lee Grahn may have to hire her own character to get her out of a jam.
Whoopsie!
Throughout several Instagram posts, Grahn has shared an amazing trip that she and her daughter, Kate, took to Japan. She was thrilled by the cleanliness of Tokyo as well as the majestic sites they had seen, including Mt. Fuji. They tried various types of foods as well as shopping, and one stop at a shop may have caused her some issues.
She posted a selfie on Instagram of her wearing a necklace with an unsurprised look on her face, and captioned it, “See that beaded necklace? Tried it on in a store about 45 min away on [a] boat in Hykone. Unfortunately, while getting ready for bed, I realized I was still wearing it. We are once again heading back to [the] store to confess.” She hilariously ended with, “I hear it’s just 21 days in jail here for thievery.”
She’s Very Honest
Co-star Lisa LoCicero, who plays Olivia, responded with the hysterical, “The role of Alexis Davis will be played today by…😂😂😂😂😂.” One fan reacted, “@locicero_lisa she better call Diane…she loves billable hours!😂.” Of course, Diane (Carolyn Hennesy) is Alexis’ bestie and partner at their law firm, so the jokes pretty much wrote themselves. Another castmate, Kate Mansi (Kristina), kiddingly wrote, “Did you manage to steal something useful like cookies or pie for your girl?”
Fellow soap star Don Diamont (Bill, The Bold and the Beautiful) shared a crying-laughing emoji with some applause ones. Many fans felt that Grahn’s honesty would preclude any possible jail time, as one reacted with the hopeful: “Oh my!! But you are honest at least, so that counts for something…right?”
And as the laughter rolled in, one follower used a current storyline to comment, “Maybe Diane can draw up a letter to have you committed to a mental health care facility, you know, just in case. Lol.”
It’s the Burger King of trucks: It’s affordable, and the nascent brand lets customers ‘have it their way’ with a lengthy accessory list, including one that turns this pickup into an SUV.
Nascent automaker Slate is putting a lot of faith in the federal EV tax credit sticking around, because with the $7500 subsidy, the company’s battery-electric 2027 Truck will cost consumers a little less than $20,000. Even without that, the Slate Truck will retail for just under $27,500.
Slate’s history goes back to 2022, when it started as a project within Re:Build, a manufacturing conglomerate founded by Jeff Wilke, the former CEO of Amazon’s worldwide consumer business, and Miles Arnone, co-founder of Cannon Capital and current Re:Build CEO. In 2023, Slate secured more than $111 million in funding from 16 investors, one of which was reportedly Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
The Slate Truck is a bare-bones pickup optimized for manufacturing and cost efficiency. To achieve that aim, Slate ditched most convenience features from the Truck. Apart from its digital gauge cluster that also serves as the rearview camera display, power locks, cruise control, and a forward-collision-warning system with automated emergency braking, the Truck offers little in the way of luxuries.
Roll-down windows come standard, as do manually adjustable rearview mirrors. An audio or infotainment system is noticeably missing, too. Instead, your cellphone or tablet serves these functions, with a dock for the former included and one for the latter available as an optional accessory. Better like the sound coming out from your phone or tablet’s speakers, too, because the Slate lacks speakers, though the brand’s accessory division will gladly hook you up with a set.
Access to Accessories
Accessories are the crux of Slate, with the high-margin parts giving buyers the chance to modify the Truck to their personal and budgetary needs. The brand claims more than 100 accessory items will be available when deliveries of the Truck begin at the end of 2026, ranging from power windows to a 2.0-inch lift and 1.0-inch lowering kit, to even an SUV kit, which adds a roof panel over the Truck’s stubby bed, and a three-across rear bench seat, roll bar, and airbags aft of the cab. Sorry, Subaru BRAT fans; the kit’s designed so that the rear bench can only be installed if the roll bar is already in place.
Adding accessories is a largely DIY affair. That said, Slate intends to have a network of approved service centers that can do the work for customers who are more of the YDIFM (you do it for me) variety.
Blank Slate
Every Slate Truck that leaves the automaker’s yet-to-be disclosed Midwest plant (which the company describes as a “reindustrialized factory”) will be almost identical to every other. The lone exception? The battery pack. The company allows customers to shun the standard 47-kWh (net) pack for an accessory unit with a capacity of approximately 75 kWh (net).
Expect Slate to charge a decent chunk of change for the larger-capacity pack, which the company estimates will net the Truck a driving range of 240 miles on a full charge. Regardless of capacity, Slate claims the optional battery choices have maximum charging speeds of 120 kW.
Additionally, the Truck wears unpainted gray composite body panels to keep manufacturing costs down by forgoing a factory paint shop. Those looking for a Truck with a bit more color can opt for a vinyl wrap from the accessories team. Stick with the standard 17-inch steel wheels, and the wrap options can extend to the steelies’ flat faces. Of course, the accessory team has 17- and 20-inch alloy wheels on hand for those less enthused by the standard wheels’ plebeian looks.
Small Slate
Measuring 174.6 inches long, the Slate Truck casts a shadow 1.8 inches shorter than that of a Subaru Crosstrek. Along with standard seating for two, the Truck offers a sizable 7.0-cubic-foot front trunk and a five-foot bed aft of the single cab. In comparison, the $28,590 Ford Maverick’s box measures almost half a foot shorter. While the 1000-pound towing capacity of the Slate is half that of the compact Ford pickup’s weakest rating, its 1433-pound payload comes in just 67 pounds short of the Maverick’s best.
